The concept of food is foreign and bewildering. She doesn’t need to eat - she knows others do, of course, that hunters did, but – well, she couldn’t help but be curious. She gets a meal from a street vendor and stares at it for a bit. It smells good, and yet… she’s too self-conscious to try eating it. What if she can’t? She’d look like an idiot.
So she’s, instead, simply sitting there holding a hot dog in one palm, marveling at how small it looks, comparatively. She notices someone coming by, the sound of the wheelchair getting her attention and making her look up, reminiscent of the way she was always ready to pay attention to Gehrman.
“Hello, you, sir–” Too rude. She modulates her tone to something much gentler and quieter, startled by the volume of her own voice. “Sir, ah - could I trouble you for a moment?”
She really doesn’t want to throw the food away.
Strange, unfamiliar, annoying... All words to describe the locale he has been forced to enter, and one with seemingly no exit in sight at that. Normally, new faces and breaths of foreign air please him, but this. . . Although this isn’t his first day here nor the second, the irritation is plain as day on his face, features contorting to childlike annoyance--a pout and a wide-eyed frown.
The expression only falls the instant a savory aroma lifts under his nose.
Tenka perks and propels himself forward, both curious and, well, hungry. Over the past few days, stress had chipped away at his appetite, but it returns full-force within moments, to such a severity that the attention needed of him almost makes him irritated all over again.
His gaze shifts and meets the one that speaks, and he startles a second, just barely. She’s . . . large, and instantly intimidating in a charming sort of way, her features smooth and beautiful and almost painted in a manner he can’t describe. Or, well...
...Put simply? She’s hot. He can’t be mad. Not to mention, she smelled nice, if not meaty. . . Or was that the aroma of the ... thing she held in her hand? Regardless, lips part into a cheery grin.
“Not a problem! In fact, I’m happy to help. What does such a lovely woman like you need with Tenka-sama today?”
